We gather to bless our bleeding!
We bless the bleeding of menstruation & pregnancy release of all kinds, including postpartum bleeding after childbirth, still-birth, miscarriage, & abortion.
We gather to connect with our herbal & human allies, build knowledge, skills, & rituals for self & community care.
Each circle will center a mystery plant ally, who will will sit with in meditation & experience sensually to open the circle. Only after this intentional time relating sensually & energetically, we will engage our intellects to discuss the featured plant’s constituents, folklore, & potential role in blessing our bleeding. Examples of appropriate harvest, dosage, formulation & preparation will be given as ideas, not instruction.
After the meditation & materia medica lesson we will weave our stories, knowledge, skills, & rituals for blessing our bleeding with plants & practical magic. Your facilitator will offer insights & anecdotes from her 20+ years of praxis, & participants are encouraged to bring their own unique medicine, in the form of inquiry, stories, wisdom & way-finding.
